Noise Solutions for Chutes & Elevator Shafts from Pyrotek

As the demand for high-rise residential developments in Australia grows, so does the demand for convenient garbage and recycling disposal in multi-story apartments. Typically, garbage chutes are employed for their ease of use and hygiene. New high-tech options include automation, exhausts, cleaning technology, and doors but also incur the need for safety and fire standards as per local building codes be met.

Pyrotek in India was approached by Horizon Chutes, Pune, for a damping solution. With the increase of disposal chute use, apartments are subject to higher amounts of noise and structural vibration. Pyrotek specified a damping surface finish of just 1mm dry film thickness with easy application requirements to combat this.

Pyrotek experimented with several spray application methods and ultimately the Decidamp SP80 was recommended. A fast-drying, water-based viscoelastic vibration damping compound, Decidamp SP80 is ideal for buildings suffering from vibration or noise. It also offers superior adhesion to aluminium and steel.

Once dry, Decidamp is resistant to chipping and, with low combustibility, complies to International standards. Exclusive to Pyrotek, Decidamp is designed for unique applications in the building, marine, and transportation industries.
